The Gluten-Free Dom

It’s almost summer (although in Vancouver it feels like February) and you’re craving ice cream but you don’t want to shell out a billion dollars for a BJ (Ben and Jerry’s, you perv). You’ve got bananas, a food processor or blender and 2 bucks for a can of coconut milk. Boom. You’ve got all you need for Blow Your Mind Soft Serve “ice cream”. This is probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had and it’s good for you. Also, I truly believe coconut is the food of the Gods.

Ingredients:

-frozen banana per person (freeze with skin on otherwise you get icicles in the soft serve)

-tbsp of the cream from the top of a can of full fat coconut milk kept in fridge, do not shake

-almond milk to thin out mixture

-additional ingredients: other frozen fruit, cinnamon, cacao powder

-optional: sweetener of some sort if it doesn’t suit your taste (but seriously, it’s baller on it’s own)

Blend the bananas first, add the cream and a little almond milk to help it all get smooth. Look how awesomely fluffy that is. I can’t stop eating this shiz.

I’m not gonna lie.. I just ate three servings of this. You will too.

Okay, I might go for a fourth.

I haven’t gone grocery shopping this week so breakfast food was a little scant. Low and behold, a sweet potato hiding on top of my fridge. I boiled it in a little salted water, sprinkled it with coconut sugar and had myself a delicious breakfast. Good morning, world.

So I think I found my heaven. Imagine, if you will, the popular Subway restaurant chain. Now replace everything on the sandwich making line with sushi roll ingredients and you’ve got “Let’s Roll” sushi.

So it is no secret that I killed it in Vegas food wise. After eating awesome food for five days straight, I found myself still craving a burger when I got back (they were out of my life for so long, who could blame a girl). However, considering I had GF cookies for breakfast I thought I should try to find a healthy alternative. Low and behold “Something Healthy”. They boast a menu of smoothies, whole wheat pizza and good for ya burgers with a gluten free “bun” option (it was sandwich bread but beggars can’t be choosers).

In-N-Out Burger

In-N-Out Burger; the legendary tale of a fast food burger so good you’d give up your first born to have a stand open near your house. So naturally, I had to put it to the GF taste test. The menu is scant. It reads: Double-Double, Cheeseburger, Hamburger, Fries and Shakes. That’s it. But this wasn’t my first rodeo and I had done my burger research.

So I went to Vegas. I hit the buffet…hard. I enjoyed the regional beverages of Nevada (Jagerbomb slushies anyone?) and I ate a lot of steak. Here is the photographic evidence.

I think this photo was taken about 10 minutes into our arrival at the Paris hotel. I wasted no time (see what I did there?).
